Notes
- The Text transfer mode is only suitable for ASCII files, that are single-byte encoded plain text files (for example,
.txt
) such as UTF-8. Other encodings such as UTF-16 and UTF-32, and other text file formats such as.doc
,.docx
,.pdf
,.rtf
will be corrupted. Always choose Binary transfer mode to keep the file unchanged. - Amazon S3 and WebDAV connections does not support ASCII text transfer mode.
- The Preserve file date and time option may depend on server protocoll such as SFTP, FTP and WebDAV, and also on server operating system and software. Amazon S3 can not preserve timestamps, while WebDAV servers rarely can.
- Many file systems support more than one file timestamp such as created and modified. Usually, only the modified date is preserved. For example, Amazon S3 folders do not support timestamps at all.
